Cap St. Jacques went lost for a few years on some maps...
Joseph Bouchette made maps of the Island of Montreal and incorrectly placed Cap St Jacques in a map of 1815 and a map of 1831
The Cap St Jacques beaches have been open and closed, and changed ownership over the years.
In 1966 the beaches were closed to the public because the Cap St Jacques land was purchased in the spring (1966) by a religious order. In an article from The North Shore News May 11, 1967.
in 1974 January 26 the North Shore News writes of winter skiing
In 1975 the MUC has taken over, according to April 10 North Shore News
August 21, 1975 North Shore News
In 1977 a 210 page study from McGill University
North Shore News February 14, 1980 MUC moving ahead $7,500,000
In 1980 the MUC bought the land for $10.5 million from the "Sisters of the holy names of Jesus and Mary" Congregation des soeurs des Saints Noms de Jesus et de Marie Sole unpolluted beach in Montreal
In 1984 it is claimed the beach is clean again. Montreal Gazette April 19 , 1984 . Remembering the past "...in the '50 and early '60's when thousands of people from across the island flocked on hot summer days to the beach off the Cap."
Pollution to blame for closed beaches. Aug 25 , 1984 newspaper article says in 1981 the beach was clean.
1986 MUC fixing up the park still, says June 19 Montreal Gazette
NOTE: The need for toilets , "in winter 1,500 skiers a day" was in one article I read.
Without toilets, the beaches will get feces on the land. People have to listen to natures call to let their bowels move. People are not machines, they eat and poop and make a mess like any other animal. Feces ends up in the water from the rain run-off.
When people leave the beach, closed due to feces contamination, the water naturally gets cleaned by mother nature and father time.
When people return to the announced clean beach they will make it "dirty" unless the city provides toilets/outhouses , cleans and prevents the garbage from accumulating.
